Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Before founding Bask Health, my brother and I once pitched a telehealth startup idea to a VC with a 40-slide deck and a “disrupt healthcare” tagline. He stared at us like we were pitching a smoothie truck. Turns out, nobody cares how “virtual” your care is if you can’t explain your revenue model in under 30 seconds.

So here’s what we wish someone had told us on day one: you’re not selling video calls, you’re building a real business.In 2025,…

What does it take to dream of becoming a doctor, an IAS officer, or a startup founder when you come from a small village in India? For many children in rural Uttar Pradesh, the answer today is: education and a school that believes in change.Shradha Sharma, Founder and CEO of YourStory, recently visited a government primary school in Ram Chaura village to understand how transformation at the grassroots is shaping the future of India’s children. Her visit was more than symbolic; it was a deep dive into a system too often dismissed for its shortcomings, yet now showing signs of…

Indeed, seeing the growth in institutional investment around crypto is a positive sign. With 86% of institutional investors either planning or already having exposure to digital assets this year, it’s easy to think it’s all plain sailing from here.But beneath the surface, problems still persist.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Mehdi Zarhloul didn’t just chase opportunity.

Before there was TikTok, there was Vine, an app that played looping videos six seconds in length. It was widely popular when Twitter, now X, acquired it in 2012 for $30 million, but it was shut down a handful of years later. As the story goes, Twitter couldn’t figure out how to monetize it — and it may have been a bit ahead of its time. There was a user archive at one time, per TechCrunch, but many videos vanished — until now.X owner Elon Musk posted on the app that this company “found the Vine video archive” and is…
